OK Beamer was microchipped when he got his annual shots.
The vet used Home Again. The first year fee was included with the bill. I just renewed the registration and it was $16.95. You can do it online. You can always go online to the website and update any information.
Home Again also has you upload a photo (optional) but if Sophie was ever to go missing they can take care of sending notifications out.
this is their website:
Pet Microchip for Dogs and Cats | HomeAgain Pet ID & Recovery Service
Lil Bit was microchipped years ago and at that time the vet used Avid. There was a onetime fee. I think it is $19.95 now and then it only costs to update information.
But I registered Lil Bit's microchip with Home Again as well as it is a better service, so I pay the registration fee for her. Well worth it for peace of mind.
